What am I doing wrong?

I have been on this app for a couple of months now and I am making all these connections. However, I am just barely hearing back from people I message and have not set up any play dates yet. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong?

Normal. You're not going to make friends here, just enjoy the comments and hang out in the pods.

- that's kind of depressing. I mainly joined this to help my toddler make friends n become sociable.

- I get it. A lot of ppl have jobs n other things going on. This is very time consuming at times.

sorry if it sounds depressing but it's true. I have been on here a long time and have been matched with over 50 women and they all pour their heart out to you and tell you how lonely they are and how hard it is to make friends and all about themselves and their families and their hobbies and their kids and you find the things that you have in common and talk about those and they message you Non-Stop for like 3 days and then all of a sudden ghost you and you never hear from them again. And I know it's not me, I have no problems meeting people and making friends IRL I was just looking to make friends outside of church that I might be more compatible with since this is such a large place and it seems like I have met many other artistic people. But none of them stick it out past the phase where they puke their life all over you.

- wow! Your experiences on here sound disappointing. I guess I will try to lower my expectations of what this app is supposed to do.

I'm not normally the type of person to really talk all about myself or to be all up in everyone else's business n drama. Truthfully, I try to distance myself from people like that.

Sane here. I feel like an alien lol

Same. I have been on here over a year and have yet to get a mom to meet up with me IRL. Typically they ghost me, no show on arranged playdates, or don't ever agree to a plan to actually meet. It's not you, it's the, lol!

Same here. Why is it so hard? I need friends. 😫

Dads app!

I have been using this app for the last 6 months ish and found it brilliant for advice and making friends. My partner though doesn’t have any male friends who are dads and I was wondering if anybody knows of anything similar to this app that he could use to find some other dads local to us, to chat to/get advice/make friends etc. anyone any ideas? ☺️

Lost friends since being a mum

Good morning! Can anyone relate to this!

My two friends and me have always been close since our early teens. I’m the first to have a baby.

One friend has big house, career and boyfriend

Other out of a long term relationship and being single having fun etc

Before baby we would all hang at my
Apartment, chat eat and just have
Fun.

Now I don’t even get a text to ask how my baby is, how I am. I really thought they would be awesome aunties. But honestly they don’t care.

They meet up a lot to do cool things, which I can’t be upset about as I can’t as I have my baby.

I don’t know I feel sad about it.

Am I over reacting?

Work + baby?

Hi everyone I’m a struggling mom needing to go back to work but trying to avoid sending my baby to daycare I’m desperately trying to find work I can do with my baby as I won’t have any one I trust to babysit. If anyone knows anything please reach out. I just want my baby to be safe but living in this economy with one income is just impossible. Please fellow moms im begging for anything!
